Sink it. If she's stationary, you can pull back to 5000 yds or so and let fly. The extra distance will give you time to escape.

Read my webbie. You win wars by letting the other guy be a reckless hero! :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
yes. let me do that stuff
:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:


now serious. on stock SH3 there is only 1 enterance and that is south from scapa (in GWX there are 3) so i would say. secure your escape route and blast the b-tard to walhalla

in GWX: enter east or west, south has a subnet. kill everything on your way to the other side and exit there.

east side in, death and destruction, west side out.
usualy you wont get attacked. unless you mess it up

Bdu to Jochen Mohr.....

Interesting intel you have on Naval Base at Scapa Flow,
Most probably of no help to Kaleun wivs at the moment,
Being as he is submerged in Loch Ewe.

Hope you can find your way back to port.

Suspect Allied forces are laughing at you.

now. Loch ewe :hmm:

stock eh.

if i remember correct there is a DD swarming at the enterance. kill it
watch out for the double subnet, mine's and the coastal arty
blast the DD's in port do hell and take out the Fiji.
if done correct there wont be a problem

note: i can be wrong though, this can be from WAC couse GWX has no subnets there. just mine's* but be carefull anyway

*you certainly cant see where i hit a mine

What's wrong with the Kanal?


Granted... I couldn't use it til I modded the config file to allow 128 TC for land proximity.

Default A lesson learnt.

To all you who replied, thanks. For info I pulled back to the entrance of Lock Ewe on the east side. Depth of water about 15m. I fire a salvo of 2 at the stationary Fiji. Distance about 9000m fish set to slow. Unfortunately the Fiji saw them and pulled up his anchor. Both fish slid just past the stern narrowly missing! I then spent a rather uncomfortable day try to save my life and my boat. Still on the positive side I learnt a lot about damage control! I:ll try an easier target today. Cheers Wivs.

Wivs, welcome aboard. I don't know if you know about this or not, but if you have stock SH 3 on you computer, you can upgrade the game and greatly improve your experience and enjoyment by installing GWX (Grey Wolves) Add-on. It make the game SO MUCH BETTER! Currently GWX is at version 1.03 and can be downloaded here for FREE:

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=102096

It's self installing and includes a fantastic manual. And the GWX team is working 24/7 to bring us their final version 1.04 soon (watch the Silent Hunter 3 Workshop section carefully). Trust me, you want to get this thing installed over your stock SH 3!

Welcome aboard kaleun wivs.....get a feel for the game first then perhaps consider 'upping' the reality level bit by bit.
After you feel confident enough you might want to try a mod as a way of raising the realism of the gaming experience.
What is most important is that you make up your own mind
Ignore the luncheon meat

Good luck

That sounds great, I am going to install GWX NOW. By the way, I dont think I had an option for electric torpedoes in the ON base U boat options, or have I missed something!

Just installed GwX , but on the start up screen an error occurred to SH3 and it had to close. Any ideas!
Just read the instructions! I think I need to install over a clean copy of sh3.
